English translation
7480. Narrated 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar رضي الله عنهما: The Prophet ﷺ besieged the people of Tā'if, but he did not conquer it. He said, "Tomorrow, if Allāh will, we will return home." On this the Muslims said, "How should we return without conquering it?" He said, "Then carry on fighting tomorrow." The next day many of them were injured. The Prophet ﷺ said, "If Allāh will, we will return home tomorrow." It seemed that, that statement pleased them whereupon Allāh's Messenger ﷺ smiled.
